System, Method, and Computer Program Product of Building A Native XML Object Database

Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product of building a Native XML Object Database, the present invention dynamically generates database API from object-oriented design and persists data in native XML files. The structure of data is maintained from front end API to back end file storage for better security and performance.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention is about building an NXOD—Native XML Object Database that is object oriented in the API layer and native XML in the persistence layer. [0003] 2. Related Art [0004] A typical database system comprises of three layers: API, database core, and data persistence. The API layer takes orders from external database applications. The database core processes orders, causes physical changes in the persistence layer, reports the processing result to the API layer, which in turn reports to external applications. [0005] Modern database technology renders mainly three categories of databases: relational database, object database, and XML database. Relational databases focus on relationships between tables and integrity of data while object and XML databases emphasis on mapping real world entity relationships to the structure of data. XML databases use XML in either or both of the API and persistence layers. [0006...
